That is a possibility. I might have to check the coop to make sure there isn't anything dangerous so we don't lose any more. Thank you for your suggestion!
Thank you so much for your reply!
It's been no more than 100 here. Usually 95. And their coop is mostly in the shade (it's super arid here, so the shade actually makes a huge difference). It wasn't too hot when my other Orpington dropped dead years ago, but it's been so long that I could be...
It's been a while since I've been on this site so I hope this is the right place to ask.
Recently I just learned that a member of our flock, our sassy buff orpington hen, just passed away unexpectedly. When told this, I remembered another buff orpington hen we owned years ago that suffered the...
My friend recently got a few chicks. The place she got them from said they gave her 2 EEs, 2 Australorps, and 2 Bantams. Obviously, Bantam could literally be anything, since it's just a small chicken. Since bantams can be fun, I've been wanting to figure out what breeds they are. My guess is one...
I've only ever owned 2 buff Orpingtons, so I can't really say I'm an expert, but I sure can share what I know through my experience with the two.
My first Orpington - named Emmie - was probably the sweetest thing ever. (Hard as it is to say, she was sweeter than my silkie!) She was the opposite...
You love chickens, too? Wonderful~!
Allow me to introduce you to my 8 feathered friends!
Baoji the Silkie Bantam:
My favorite and the only one who's truly mine. Ain't she cute~? :love I love my floof princess! Her name means "bun" or "little bread" in Chinese. Suiting for a little, fluffy...
Haha you my friend have much more patience than I. :lol:
Honestly though, despite my impatience with her broodiness, my silkie is literally the best. You made an excellent decision ordering silkies. Make sure to socialize them well and you'll have best friends for life! Snuggles are definitely...
I cannot tell you how much I love my precious little floof princess.
She is the biggest snuggle bug I have ever owned. She loves snuggling more than she loves to eat or poop! (She honestly hasn't pooped on me in ages *knocks vigorously on wood*.) She's also the only chicken I've ever owned...
Ah that is good information to know. Thank you so much for that!
I'll go ahead and try Chicken jail first, then. Glad to know she doesn't have to be alone.
Again, thanks a bunch for the help!
